If Kenneth has weak connections between his parietal lobe and motor cortex, some other effects that could potentially be seen include:
– Impaired sensorimotor integration and coordination. It would be more difficult to smoothly translate visual/spatial information into coordinated movements.
– Delays in motor planning and execution. Weak connections could slow down the parietal lobe’s ability to plan appropriate motor programs based on sensory input.
– Reduced manual dexterity. Fine finger movements and hand-eye coordination may be less accurate due to inefficient parietal-motor communication.
– Difficulty with gesture recognition and production. Weak connections could impact the translation between visual understanding of body movements and motor imitation/enactment.
– Issues with spatial navigation and motor learning. Forming cognitive maps and learning new motor skills may be challenging without strong parietal lobe guidance of movements.
– Tendency toward clumsy or ungraceful movements. Movements may feel disjointed or lack fluidity/precision if sensory processing isn’t smoothly integrated with motor commands.
– Problems with bimanual coordination. Independent control of both hands/arms could be impacted by less effective interhemispheric communication.
– Gait/postural instability. Weak connections may disrupt cognitive motor control of balance, falls risk may increase.
Let me know if any part of this potential effects analysis could use further explanation or examples.
